Kerber
, 2005
After almost five decades of painting in the relative wilderness of San Diego, Richard Allen Morris has suddenly become a deserved art-world darling. Long admired by fellow West Coast artists like John Baldessari and East Coasters like David Reed, Morris has displayed a restless engagement with Abstract Expressionism over his long career, from ...

What I Loved: A Novel
Siri Hustvedt
Picador
, 2004
What I Loved
This is a cerebral and compelling book, I think especially for those who are interested in art and the art scene. It is also very, very sad. A story of losing everything that mattered to the central character. Most in our book club liked it, but not all.
The Sorrows of an American: A Novel
Siri Hustvedt
Henry Holt and Co.
, 2008
Just This Side of Madness
This is a complex novel that reads like a literary mystery and at other times like a psychological drama. Everyone in the book hovers at the edge of the abyss. Even the mild-mannered, kind psychoanalyst, Erik Davidsen, who narrates the story which takes place in the ...

Siri Hustvedt
Picador

A Varied Collection of Thoughts, Incantations, Musings from a Very Bright Mind
Siri Hustvedt is one fine writer. Her skills go beyond the technical expertise of honing in on a thought, relishing it, dissecting it, relating it, and offering it back to the reader. Here is a writer whose depth of knowledge about literature is vast and whose ...
The Enchantment of Lily Dahl: A Novel
Siri Hustvedt
Picador
, 2004
Great coming-of-age novel
This book reminded me a lot of the movie "Ruby in Paradise," a coming-of-age tale starring Ashley Judd. Both characters are young, female, have dead-end jobs and are on the road to becoming mature women. In the movie, Ruby is nearly raped by a guy she knows; in the ...

Hustvedt Gives the Paintings Back to Us
Siri Hustvedt is a fine writer and an even finer essayist. She is able to communicate volumes of historical and observational information while reassuring the reader that what she is sharing is not THE way of approaching her subject, but rather merely HER musings ...
The Blindfold: A Novel
Siri Hustvedt
Picador
, 2003
A sexy and smart slow burn of a book
Siri Hustvedt's novels, to me, are like the literary equivalent of Edward Hopper's paintings: portraying that haunting sense of abandonment and alienation in an anonymous American city landscape. Coincidentally, both The Blindfold and The Enchantment of Lily Dahl has a ...

the blackbird whistling
I received this book from an old friend who I hadn't seen in nearly twenty years--she showed up unannounced, spent a few hours sitting in the sun, and then disappeared just as unexpectedly. I still don't know if she meant to leave the book behind, but I've decided that ...

Yonder
Siri Hustvedt
Henry Holt and Co.
, 1998
Some compelling essays
Considering the attention and praise Siri Hustvedt's novels have received, I was surprised that this book was published almost invisibly a year ago. I just discovered Yonder a few weeks ago (mid-1999) and haven't found any reviews of it outside of the trades -- which ...
